about

EST:

Seda albumit tehes mõtlesin ainult muusikale, tema erinevatele väljendusvormidele. Ma ei otsinud ühtegi muusikavälist narratiivi või teemat, millega oleks hiljem sobilik kirjeldada albumi kontseptsiooni. Selleks ongi muusika ise – oma kõlade, värvide, tunnete ja meeleoludega.

Ma ei ajanud taga ei stiile, moevoole ega trende, mingeid nippe või võtteid, tahtsin teha muusikat, mis mulle endale korda läheb ja meeldib. See on minu vabadus ja looming, VIIV minu elus, kus olen õnnelik, et saan luua oma maailmu, kus tahan olla.

Lugude nimed, mis kõik on palindroomid, annavad ühe võimaliku vihje, aga ei sunni kuulajat vaatama ühte kindlasse suunda. Igaühel on võimalus tunda just seda, mida ta soovib.

Kolmes loos on mul ka külalised. Ramo Teder (Puuluup, Pastacas) lööb kaasa kahes palas (URUGURU ja OXO) ja teeb siin, julgen arvata, märksa erinevama etteaste sellest, kuidas oleme harjunud teda senimaani kuulma. Instrumentideks Hiiu kannel või selle poognaga mängitud vioola ja Ramo hääl.
VIIVu ainuke sõnadega lugu on METAMATEM ja seda esitab noor laulja, lugudekirjutaja ja kitarrist Haldi Välimäe. Ka tema mõjub teistsugusena sellest, kus oleme harjunud teda nägema. Selle loo teksti on kirjutanud Hando Runnel 50 aastat tagasi originaalpealkirjaga “Metamorfoosid”. Kui muidu instrumentaalsele plaadile tuleb tekst, siis olgu selles midagi ajatut ja pool sajandit on tänapäeva mõistes terve igavik.

ENG:

If I had to briefly characterize my music, I would describe it as open and beautiful; widescreen music. "VIIV" is the synthesis of benevolent experimentation and the clearly perceptible patterns of timeless classics — modern instrumental compositions unconstrained by time or space.

When making "VIIV," I focused solely on music and its various forms of expression. I did not look for a single narrative or theme beyond music itself with which it would later be fitting to describe the album's concept. That is what the music itself is for — with its sounds, its colors, its feelings and its moods.

I did not pursue any particular styles, fashions or trends, nor any tricks or techniques; I just wanted to make music that I myself care about and enjoy. This is my freedom and creation — a "viiv," literally a moment, in my life in which I am happy to be able to create my own worlds in which I want to be. But to be quite honest, I don't actually know what I'm doing; I don't have a recipe.

The titles of the tracks, all of which are palindromes, provide one possible hint, but do not force the listener to look in any one particular direction. Everyone has the opportunity to feel precisely what they want.

Three songs also feature guest artists. On two tracks, "URUGURU" and "OXO," folk and experimental musician Ramo Teder (Puuluup, Pastacas) provides vocals and plays the ancient talharpa. "METAMATEM," the album’s only song with lyrics, is performed by singer-songwriter and guitarist Haldi Välimäe, with words, dating back half a century, by famous Estonian poet Hando Runnel.
